Microsoft icons for developers
By andre
Apparently, Microsoft allows users of Visual Studio to include some icons, supplied with the product. For example, to look at available icons in Visual Studio 2010, locate the file
VS2010ImageLibrary.zip
in the installation directory of your copy of VS (i.e.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\VS2010ImageLibrary\1033
) and extract the .png files you need. You can extract the necessary sub-images from them.
For convenience, you might consider a free image editing application Paint.NET . In order to be able to save files in .ICO format, you will need this plugin .
